RE: GDG- GDG: Signal Corps and Buford / A.B. Jerome

[J. David Petruzzi]

>>I think that unless/until there is definite proof of another Signal
Officer
being with Jerome while he was with Buford (which is what I was looking for
when I posted this query), then I will continue to believe that he was the
only
one present from the S.C. with Buford.   Perhaps Steve Rauch or Col. Cameron
will have some information about this...

Melanie, one thing to keep in mind is the term "officer" - Jerome was a Lt.,
and perhaps Stone was a private or non-com under him.  Therefore, it could
be entirely proper to say that Jerome was the only "signal officer" on the
field that day, when he could have had a crew of 1, 2, 3, etc. under him
that could have been privates or non-coms.

I would think it entirely plausible, and probably even, that Jerome would
have a crew of at least a few.
